Wez Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Hey All, I am looking at tidying up the cam covers and welding a -12 outlet on the exhaust side, does the list of bits below look like everything I need, the details were taken from Tonys valve stem replacement guide The prices may have changed now. Cam cover bolts 90105-06166 12 off at £0.56 each Cam cover nut 90179-06288 4 off at £0.56 each Cam cover washer 90210-07001 16 off at £1.83 each Cam cover gasket (Inlet) 11213-46020 1 off at £7.53 each Cam cover gasket (Exhaust) 11214-46011 1 off at £7.53 each Seal packing 08826-00050 1 off at £42.96 While they are off I may as well replace the cam cover breather hoses and get some coil pack clips in case any fall apart. Coil pack clip 90980-11246 6 off at £2.81 each Cam breather hose 12263-46010 1 off at £5.78 each Cam breather hose 12264-46010 1 off at £4.98 each Any tips for preparing and painting the covers?

dandan Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I'll be doing the same shortly Wez (except mine will be #10 on each cover). I have everything you listed there except the nuts, bolts and washers. Although...what is 08826-00050? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLicense Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 It's a tube of sealant to help the front bearings seal. You could use a hylamar or similar for a lot less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 (except mine will be #10 on each cover) Interesting as I was looking at -10 but most said -12 is better suited. I have a -10 weld on fitting already where I will need to buy all the -12 bits. Why are you doing the inlet side, doesnt it have a one way valve to prevent oil contamination under boost?

DamanC Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Is it needed when just removing and replacing the cam covers? Apparently not Wez. Everything else looks correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul mac Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Is it needed when just removing and replacing the cam covers? i used loctite black silcone sealant cost about £4.50 IIRC, still doing its job 2 years later, how Toyota can justify £45 for a tube of sealant is beyond, i like to use all genuine Toyota spares but i drew the line with that sealant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 Thanks for all the info Still not 100% convinced if I should go for -10 or -12 breather fittings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine are both going to a catch can and then (eventually) finding their way into the exhaust I didn't think I could fit a #12 on the inlet side and even the exhaust side looked a little bit tight as the compressor housing is an "H" which means it reasonably large with a 3" outlet. If I was going with a normal catch can and then to the turbo inlet (or atmosphere) I would probably go with #12 on the exhaust side and probably leave the inlet side alone with the PCV.

Exactly what I am planning so will go with a -12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The standard finish comes off very easily with paint stripper and a paint scraper leaving the bare casting. Then add your choice of finish. I would go with powdercoat for a tough durable easy to clean finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: just done a search on yell and there are at least 3 places within a couple of miles Just make sure that they don't blast media blast the covers, chemical cleaning only unless you are breaking them open. I would also mention that it is an engine critical part (hence the chemical clean) also show them where you don't want the powdercoating.

Wez Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 I found a local powder coating place, £50 per wheel to have them stripped back and then done in matt black, £40 for both cam covers and the centre plastic Hopefully I will have a spare set of cam covers to get prepped by the end of the week.
